Body
WHEREAS, in 2012 Madison Water Utility Water contracted with Baxter & Woodman to provide design, bidding and construction administration services for a generator addition and facility upgrade to Unit Well 26; and
WHEREAS, the original objective of improving the reliability of Unit Well 26 and redundancy in the west side water supply remains; and
WHEREAS, during the course of implementing the original contract Baxter & Woodman provided a Estimate of Probable Construction Cost for the project significantly higher than the project budget; and

WHEREAS, the revised scope requires additional design services; and
WHEREAS, Madison Water Utility has negotiated a fee and scope for the additional services;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and the City Clerk are authorized to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Baxter and Woodman for the "Unit Well 26 Generator Addition and Facility Upgrade" project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that change orders that do not exceed Madison Water Utility's approved budget or the scope of the project as authorized by the Common Council may be executed by the Water Utility General Manager and City Finance and/or designee, and counter executed by Baxter & Woodman.
